Let's tell the truth and shame the devil.

60 years ago, in 1962, this nation was a different nation - by laws, demographics and distribution of wealth.

There are people that are speaking in this space that are lying to you & I won't!
Black poverty in 1962 was 68.4%.

In 2021, under the monthly child tax credit, Black poverty dropped to 19.9% and was lower than white, Latino & Indigenous American poverty.

50 Republicans and 1 Democrat from a 93.5% white state killed it.
This nation passed reparations for the biggest group of Geechee-Gullah Blacks in this nation. All the coastal land from Ferdinand Beach, Florida to Wilmington, NC.

Most of that land was swiped, stolen and swindled through legal mechanisms.
Joe Biden has signed more EOs to target Blacks than any President ever & had all but 1 reversed by this 6-3 GOP SCOTUS. Democrats passed laws in the ARP & infrastructure bill to help pay your rent, build affordable housing, fix infrastructure discrimination & farmers.
All but 3 GOP governors blocked this aid to their states. The 6-3 GOP SCOTUS have blocked everything else.

Yet, ya'll get ADOS, FBA & B1 telling you these crackers are going to give you reparations.

They are lying to you.
Nearly all Black America lived in inner cities or rural areas in 1962.

Almost 45% of us now live in suburban America, less than 25% in rural, exurban or small town America.

We are doing far better than 60 years ago.
In 1980, only 6% of Blacks had a college degree.

In 2022, nearly 1 in 3 do.

Many of us have risen and we still have work to do for those who have not.
Most working class and poor Americans have FREE healthcare in states governed by Democrats or have Democratic legislatures.

Most Blacks live in states that the GOP has blocked. Medicaid expansion blocked in FL, GA, MA, AL, SC (Marcel backed the guy doing this)
Rental assistance, affordable housing, support for farmers, reversing infrastructure discrimination funds that @WayneMessam could have spent, DeSantis and Scott before him blocked.
Rural broadband is already facing legal challenges. SC-6 is the 3rd most rural CBC district in the nation.

Clyburn got the money to bring those counties into the 21st century. Clyburn did that. Marcel said it doesn't matter.
Clyburn increases money to rural schools. Marcel runs ads for the white man giving it to the DeVos family instead of kids in the district
Let's recap

Biden-Harris promised a fully funded DOJ that would enforce laws thar help & protect us

GOP Congress, governors, ADOS, FBA, B1 & 6-3 SCOTUS oppose.
Biden-Harris promised record HBCU funding.

GOP Congress, governors, ADOS, FBA, B1 & 6-3 SCOTUS oppose.
Biden-Harris promised and delivered record MSI (minority servicing institutions) spending.

GOP Congress, governors, ADOS, FBA, B1 & 6-3 SCOTUS oppose.

GOP Congress, governors, ADOS, FBA, B1 & 6-3 SCOTUS oppose.
Biden-Harris promised and delivered the start of what reparations would look like by fixing the harm of infrastructure that destroyed Black communities like Overtown, Brownsville, etc.

GOP courts are blocking

GOP Congress, governors, ADOS, FBA, B1 & 6-3 SCOTUS oppose.
Biden-Harris promised and delivered aid to reclaiming lands stolen through legal mechanisms.

GOP courts are blocking.

GOP Congress, governors, ADOS, FBA, B1 & 6-3 SCOTUS oppose.
Biden-Harris promised and delivered affordable housing.

GOP governors won't spend the money.

GOP Congress, governors, ADOS, FBA, B1 & 6-3 SCOTUS oppose.
Biden-Harris promised and delivered rental assistance. @CoriBush covered herself in Cheez it crumbs and the SCOTUS permanently killed this tool.

GOP governors did not spend this money.

GOP Congress, governors, ADOS, FBA, B1 & 6-3 SCOTUS oppose.
The structure of our senate is not in our favor.

25+ states are still 78+% white.

We have a federalist system that gives governors & state legislatures veto power in progress.

Laziness gave the GOP 5 SCOTUS picks due to 2000 & 2016 misses.
Most Black progress came through the courts.

The 6-3 court can kill any and all progress.

Any promise that Biden, Harris, House Dems or Senate Dems make can be killed by this 6-3 SCOTUS.
No reparations will happen under a 6-3 court over the next couple of decades.

ADOS, FSB, B1 & the white supremacists that fund them know this.
12 promises from Biden-Harris and 12 delivered.

GOP Governors
GOP Congressional Members
GOP presidential candidates
GOP SCOTUS
ADOS
FBA
B1
Marcel

Do not support any of the things I highlighted that economically help Black people
We've achieved a lot being anywhere from 9% to just under 14% of the population.

Blacks that come to the US from around the world vote like us.

Would we have more power at 20, 30 or 40% of the population or less than 14%.
The GOP in all forms

ADOS
FBA
B1

and their white supremacist funders are telling you that immigration is bad for us. They are lying.

I am telling you the truth. Massive immigration especially from the African diaspora is vital to us gaining power in this nation.
Biden and Harris...who are community backed pairing up from the jump did this.

Not the #CaboCaucus & all the Black Blue Checks & begging to be Black Blue Checks who will sell us out in an instant!
I noted 12 promises made & promises kept.

I forgot Ketanji Jackson-Brown.

I didn't name putting a record number of Black jurists on the federal courts.

I also didn't mention most of what @tify330 points out here.
My critique to the party is that you must constantly advertise what you've done for Black people in Black media.

Black media is media that Black voters consume. It isn't a show with a Black host that few Black people consume. It is sports media, true crime shows etc.
The NBA Finals are about 10 days away. It will have the highest share of Black female and male viewers this year.

Few Democrats are advertising during this event.

Mondaire & all other Democrats are doing the best they can with the map that a GOP appointed chaos agent had drawn by a special master.

The SPM / Hochulmander protected all sitting Dems and complied with Black, Latino & Asian racially required districts.
@MondaireJones did the right thing by placing the entire blame on this judge. @AOC & others that are not knowledgeable about redistricting, are crying foul over someone the courts did to pair 5 incumbents vying for 4 seats.
Mondaire Jones and Jamal Bowman are not in court mandated majority-minority districts. No Democrat is stealing or taking away a Black district.

It is hard to beat an incumbent and Mondaire is moving to a more fitting district that solves the problem for Maloney & Bowman.

This is demagoguery and @AttorneyCrump knows that.

He knows the James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crime Bill was passed in 2009.

He knows that work ends when Republicans run the Executive Branch. Instead of telling ya'll Bush 43 & Trump are the issue...he is picking an imaginary foe.
He knows we have a federalist system and the ability to protect those that live under GOP rule is much harder because we cannot overcome the lack of public safety laws in these locations.
He also knows the 6-3 SCOTUS is a major road block to the DOJ or any government entity to enforcing laws that protect us.
